This week has been great. We are working to do the standard of
excellence our president has established. The hard part is 40 street
contacts per day. So we are having to talk to every person. Its fun
but its difficult. But it works. We are working with several less
active members. There are about 60 people going to church but about
170 houses registered as having members, some houses of 5 members. So
there is a lot of inactivity and we are working towards a ward. Its
awesome.

We started an english class here. It was pretty awesome. I think im
becoming a pretty good teacher after all of these classes. But the
more i teach the more i realize that i am forgetting somethings. But
its awesome. The first class had a great result and there are a lot of
people interested. More people are interested in english class than
recieving our visits.

We will travel to Dorados today for a zone meeting which will be held
tomorrow. It should be a good trip and an uplifting meeting. Im not so
excited to travel again but im excited to have the meeting.

Maracajú is awesome! Im loving it here. After one plane ride and 3 bus
rides i finally arrived. And im loving it here. Its a small city of
about 40,000 and they have a branch here. There are so many awesome
members and people here.

The church has been in the city for quite some time, about 40 years
ive been told. And the church unit is still a branch. So we are going
to work hard for a ward. We are starting Project Ward which will help
the branch work towards being a ward. We are excited and the members
are going to be too.

The city is awesome. The people are awesome. Im excited to be here.
And im so excited to help.

Everyone have an amazing week.

So i will be transfered to Maracaju! I will leave tomorrow and i will
be the district leader in that city! It will be great!

This week was great. We were finally able to move out of our house and
into the new appartment. It was a little difficult, especially with
the large wardrobes. But it all turned out great in the end!

I loved my time here in Alta Floresta. I love the people here. It will
be sad to leave but the Lord has His plans. The church is so true. And
it doesnt matter the city, the people, or the time frame. God doesnt
change. He has always called prophets and He will continue to call
prophets. He leads and guides His church in our day and how greatful I
am to be a part of it.

Everyone have an amazing week!

General conference was amazing! We had the first general conference
here in Alta Floresta! It was a little difficult to set everything up
but in the end, everything worked out great! We were able to enjoy the
first transmitted general conference in Alta Floresta.

This week has been great. We are seeing more and more miracles every
day. We are doing splits to learn from each other and it is going
great.

I loved the words of the prophet and the aposltes this conference.
They were so awesome to hear. I loved learning of the Spirit and how
what they said is true. We need to be searching the Spirit and
trusting Him. Sometimes in our lives we will trust in ourselves, in
our knowledge. But whats important, is that we trust in the Spirit.
Because nothing spiritual can be learned without Him. Its beautiful
doctorine. Everyone have an amazing week.
